Well quad dominance is how much load an exercise TENDS to make your body use as far as the quads are concerned.

I do not understand this sentence. Can you explain this? I suppose quad dominance is not the same as potential knee flexion in an exercise?

Yeah, I think you can say that. At least in my version of the definition. So for me personally, that's pretty much the same - the potential of knee flexion and quad loading of a given exercise. Of course it's more a matter of that knee flexion/quad loading actually occuring than the potential of that since that's what we really care about.

Well quad dominance is how much load an exercise TENDS to make your body use as far as the quads are concerned. A high bar squat has the potential to make you use more knee bend/knee going forward than a low bar squat has (also depending on your structure) and will make you kind of "wanting to use the quads/go with knees forward" more. That's my understanding of quad dominance.

You can also feel it in the amount of overload happening in your quads as you perform that exercise.

Masturbate more often, increase deadlift grip. Easy.

Not that I ever did that, I heard it from friends...

Damn nice

Olympic lifts are the best way to bridge the two.

By this you mean the Olympic lifts themselves or you're actually meaning any kind of strength-speed exercise? If so, then you could substitute the O-lifts with jump squats and get the same if not more.

You could bridge that gap with jump squats and depth jumps.

Thanks Flander, you have been doing good lately as well

Yeah I agree with you Steven about the dangers of squatting.

The thing with the snatch is that it's much easier to mess up and you're going to need to drop the bar from over your head to who knows where...

At least in my particular case, when I get to 50 kg that's already too much for my shoulders to hadle safely (I can get the bar overhead but in that position I can barely control it) so basically, even though I could use more weight and actually get benefits from that I can't. These exercises are an alternative to using more weight while still getting triple extension, an explosive movement and posterior chain dominant.
